I'm not sure what you currently have since there's no code to view but it's a matter of getting the CSS (and JavaScript if there is any) to properly style the text. Below is a simple demo. By default, text is written from top to bottom, left to right, so if you want it aligned to the left, just change the CSS styling for d1.

Thanks a lot for the fast response Error404 (I like that). Before I do anything, maybe it's best if you have a look at this (from The Warrior Forum; centering a testimonial (maybe messy code but works for this)):

John is one of those writers you hope you could keep for life. He has excellent spelling, grammar and sentence structure, while at the same time using keyword phrases like a pro.

My first order was for over $200 (US), which I sent and then received the articles in groups within e-mails.

I really enjoyed working with John. Another thing I like is that he stays in touch and keeps you updated if anything comes up."

It looks awkward to view in Preview. Maybe copy and past for a better look?

I must leave for a half hour. I'll certainly look back here immediately when I get back.

I'm sorry for all the back and forth. I'm a liberal arts guy; not a techie. I wish I had that talent.

If anyone's off to watch The Walking Dead I understand.

You shouldn't normally use inline styles so much. This is just to demonstrate centering a content block (<div>).
The key is to define a specific 'width' for the block element, and set the left and right margins to 'auto'.

The result in Preview is below. Maybe it's the platform (Warrior Forum) that messes it up? I pasted it 3 times; same result.

Maybe if you showed me a coded, simple two or three line paragraph, I could start from scratch by applying that to my paragraph. I could play around with that.

I feel guilty that I got you and Error404 involved now.

John, the above (from your previous post) is the formatting you would usually find in a forum post, not so much on modern HTML5 websites. For example, when you make text bold, you would normally use

HTML Code:

<strong>some bold text</strong> and not [B]this[/B]

as it's outdated. Alternatively, you would give the paragraph a class or id (see my previous post) to call when giving the CSS or add the formatting inline as rtrethewey showed.

The easiest way for us to help you achieve what you want is to see an example, ideally through a URL link to the example website since "pictures are worth a 1000 words". If you wish to have something altered from the example, we can help you write (or provide) the necessary code by first testing it ourselves client-side.
